You can use either Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services to create a dashboard to display essential data for your users. In this example, you will learn how to use SharePoint Portal Server and Microsoft Office FrontPage to create a dashboard to display a chart of the top open opportunities and their projected revenue.The first section explains how to create a SharePoint Portal Server page with an Office Web component (a PivotChart), connect it to the Microsoft CRM 3.0 database, and configure the PivotChart. The second section explains how to create a data view on the SharePoint site by using FrontPage. The final section explains how to replace the default Microsoft CRM 3.0 home page with your SharePoint Portal Server dashboard (go and see this web site http://www.mscrmguy.com/ This site is operated by John Straumann, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Technology Specialist, for the purpose of the site is to give our CRM partners access to CRM materials, demos, sample code, etc).-EROL MVP SPShttp://www.clubsps.org

This Windows Folder web part allows users to store files within a standard Windows (NTFS) folder in a shared network location and display a list of those files in a SharePoint page via a consistent ‘document library’-style interface. A new NTFS sub-folder is automatically created for each SharePoint site that is configured to display the Windows Folder web part, underneath a 'root' NTFS shared folder on a defined server. The NTFS security ACLs for each sub-folder are automatically synchronised to match the list of SharePoint users for the site, so the administrator experience is simply to "drag and drop" the web part. Works best if Kerberos authentication is used. Full documentation, source code and install files are included in the download. The web part is also discussed in the following blog article: http://blogs.msdn.com/grahamtyler/archive/2005/11/30/498132.aspx -EROL MVP SPS http://www.clubsps.org

Microsoft provides several tools that allow administrators to recover critical information, ranging from a single team site to an entire SPS server. Conspicuously absent in this collection is a simple recycle bin solution for easy restoration of deleted files. Fortunately, third-party solutions and MSDN® code samples are available to address this shortcoming. Several solutions exist to provide granular item backup and restore capabilities in WSS and Microsoft Office SPS 2003. Here are a few of the more popular ones.-EROL MVP SPS http://www.clubsps.org
